Scary Partying in Warzone Africa

Here in LazCorp, we love corporate parties. With Halloween coming up, we wanted to share a little of the joy and fear and pumpkin feels of the season with the Warzones, so this update we snuck into Warzone Africa and did lots of fancy decoration things and also we are now serving brain pudding to anyone who wants it!

Corporate Party Setter-Uppers:

Lawyer Custadia (he led the sneaky party attack!)
Attorney New armenian union (who super-planned the sneak party attack and was just promoted, yay!)
Director Marthizer

+ Ghost Liliarchy

Laywer Leonism joined the party later and brought the pudding along. :D <3 (for reals, it's great! go ahead and ask Intern Debussy for some!)

We look forward to working with you. :D

The Council is beginning to be concerned about the blatant disregard for efficiency and ethics regarding the botched batch of super soldiers.

1) The Aigania Federation is an open (if fully (genetic + societal) assimilating) nation. And we care.
We can take care of them if necessary and fix them to be useful citizens.

2) We are deeply appalled with the disregard for ethics in the pursue on technology. Contrary to some perceptions, although Science by itself doesn't carry ethical values, to function properly it needs an ethical framework (Mertonian Norms). Otherwise you cannot have a proper technology advanced.

All the authoritarians that have taken ethical shortcuts have produced botched science and much suffering,
... compiling Old Earth examples ...
(capitalists disregard for climatology, the nazi disregard for genetics and physics (Deutsche Physik), the Communist disregard for genetics (Lysenkoism), Islamic disregard for science (Islamic Science), ...

3) It is catastrophic in efficiency and moral the use of Nerve Stapling.
a) It doesn't make levels of punishment between crimes, (they are not all of the same level of damage to society)
b) It remove the possibility of rehabilitation.
c) It is slavery by the backdoor. Which itself.
c-1) It is inefficient in the long term, because civilizations reliant on them are prone to become complacent and not
advance to develop true automation.
c-2) It is immoral for the damage caused to the people for robbing the possibilities of: 1) choice 2) development.

I mean if you want a bunch of superpowered sociopaths then be my guest. Glorious Society believes in letting nothing stop the pursuit of science. Whether its biomechanical, magical, or even lovecraftian.

1) Sociophatic individuals can be deal with ... accesing genetics databanks compatible with 21 st Old Earth tech references... modified by regulation of MAOA-L (monoamine oxidase coding gene) variant and alike. For the overpowered physically can be achieved by over expression of myostatin.
Of course we advanced well beyond that simple tech long ago. (1)

2) As the most scientifically advanced nation in Lazarus we are completely committed to research and we are more than welcoming to any fellow nation that want to follow our example.

However as also integrity powerhouse we cannot abide by gross abuse of human rights.

3) Police must be done by consensus (ideally), besides the pursue of regional or global apocalypse tech or actions like the use of strategic thermonuclear weapons on planetary biospheres are considered in dim view by this council, specially with the oncoming zombie crisis.

P.S. As a mostly baseline reserve this council would be grateful not to having to heavy handed modified its population by
... accesing genetics databanks compatible with 21 st Old Earth tech references... not having to upregulate CTNNB1 gene to protect against ionising radiation and aument the sensibility of MCR1 receptor for stimulate eumelanin increased for additional UV radiation protection. (2)

(1) We have enough computing power to totally simulate the equivalent of a human body up from basic quantum quantum chromodynamics. Modification of a human being from combat model, to pleasure model, thinking model or average citizen is doable and affordable. A few weeks in our VATs is enough.

That's why we don't have or need prisons. We take rehabilitation to the logical conclusion. We remade them.

(2) A thermonuclear exchange produce copious amount of oxides of nitrogen that damage the ozone layer increasing UV exposure when they reach the stratosphere.

I'll never get a hang of the random way in which NS determines the outcomes of my issue decisions. I just allowed manipulated photos of me and other celebreties in my nation to circulate, and that lowers Civil Rights? Wtf? I mean if you allow something like this (in a free speech, freedom of press, freedom of art kind of way), it should increase Civil Rights, no?

You limited both bodily autonomy and self-determination by allowing other people to decide what your leader and celebrities look like rather than leaving it in the hands of those people.

Today where I am it's raining outside and everyone is inside lounging around in bed sleeping or doing computer stuff or something. It feels sooo dreary and boring but also almost in a nice way. :P

Luftwaffenbasis Alpha, Leestcheck, capital of the Imperium
Planespotters near one of the two capital city airbases spotted the approach and landing of four previously unknown military aircraft at Luftwaffenbasis Alpha today. Further research and analysis of the photos taken by some of the spotters lead us to believe that these were indeed Thunderchild Aircraft Company Viper BT.3 medium bombers, designed and manufactured in the Republican Federation of Loftegen 2. The aircraft did neither have Luftwaffe nor Republican Federation Airforce markings, nor was any registration visible. The aircraft were equipped with what we assume to be ferry tanks under their wings, without carrying any munitions on external hardpoints.

The Luftwaffe declined to comment on the arrival of the Viper BT.3s, but denied any foreign military aircraft had been in Imperial airspace at the time. The conclusion drawn by our team of defense analysts is that these are aircraft bought by the Imperium for further evaluation of the aging B18 bombers, given those have had a service life of well over 40 years now and the future fusion-powered medium bomber scheduled to replace them is still at least a decade away, after the R44 heavy fighter project has massively drained the resources of all related departments.

Should our assumption turn out to be true, this would be the first import deal for foreign military aircraft since the age of piston engine fighters and bombers.

In Treadwellia, a tired Tubbius is about to wobble away from His computer, wriggle out of His Tubbra and clothes and into His nightgown, and slump into warm, comfy covers alongside Mrs. Tubbius. He has had a very long day today, sitting in Piggy Cliff Mall as the usual mall Santa, listening to children's requests for this upcoming Christmas.

It's not that He needs to listen or even ask, of course. His Chubbiness already knows, of course, and has already long since gotten the Elves at The Workshop to start working on everything. However, there is a wonderful joy in interacting with the lovable little ones, even if the children in Treadwellia are all rather plump for their young ages and thus put sizable pressure on Mr. Claus' flabby legs and middle.

Besides, the work at the mall comes with free, endless milk and cookies for the sitting Santa! Mrs. Tubbius has already given Her hefty husband a playful poke to His sweets-filled belly tonight, teasing Him with the knowledge that He will very likely need a resizing of His shirts before Christmas finally arrives.

All is right in Treadwellia!

And now they are helpfully within arms reach, so you dare not even think about leaving your bed to stuff your bulging bellies full of much needed nutrition.
